Before anything else, please take your Al-Quran or open any Quran apps on your iPhone4 or Android.
Next, read Surah al-An'am verse 145


Say (O Muhammad): "I find not in that which has been inspired to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maytatah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork, etc.) for that surely is impure, or impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But whosoever is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, (for him) certainly, your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."


Eating any pork product is forbidden by Allah due to number of reasons.The main reason is that swine is an unclean animal by nature which is reflected through its lifestyle.
From the virological aspect, pig has the potential to grow any viruses that would normally exist from other living things. It accepts any kind of 'seeds', then undergoes the 'cross breed process' to produce new viruses. 
Swine is also fed with human' solid excretory product [aka najis].  In other words, it will consume everything that is unwanted, be it refuse, dead insects, carcasses, rubbish and even its own fellow.


It is very clear that swine is impure, the one that could cause great harm the whole body system from working properly. Nonetheless, why do people still eat pork? It's simply because pork is tasty, like chicken but even tastier [Please don't ask how do I know T,T].


From now on, we should be double vigilant about the food that we take. For my case, please be aware about the existence of Scottish Egg or Scottish Ball (without the egg). It looks like a plain bread dough ball, coated with crumbs and fried, but sadly it is a mixture of pork sausage meat. Confirmed! Woo..

And another one of my favourites is stuffed jalapeno. It looks like this:

Pretty much like an 'omnivore', stuffed jalapeno could be categorized as a non-vegetarian food too because there are recipes whereby lard is added to the cream cheese filling to make it more delicious. On the surface level it seems less obvious because it does not appear in a form of meat. So, please be more selective and cautious about this. Whatever we consume will be part of our flesh and blood, that's a FACT!

Let's raise our concern about food a little higher. Allah is merciful towards anyone who eat pork unknowingly but our responsibility as a Muslim is to search for the knowledge to find out what is halal and haram. There are things in life that we are not supposed opt the path with the least resistance...

Abu Hurairah pernah ditanya tentang takwa, maka ia mengatakan: “ Apakah kamu pernah melewati jalan yang dipenuhi duri?, dijawab: ya, ia berkata: apa yang kamu lakukan?, dijawab: jika aku melihat duri aku menghindarinya atau melangkahinya, atau meninggalkanya, abu Hurairah berkata: itulah takwa“

Erm, korang nampak buruk, tp rasa boleh tahan >_< wekks!
